17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Trafalgar Square in the heart of London's Westminster district, as captured in this stunning photograph by Roger Fenton around 1850. The image offers a glimpse into the urban landscape of Victorian England, showcasing the iconic Trafalgar Square with its intricately designed fountains in the foreground. The water feature, adorned with four statues representing the four great seas that Britain had victoriously navigated during the Napoleonic Wars, creates a serene contrast to the bustling activity around it. In the background, the equestrian statue of King George IV stands proudly, a symbol of British monarchy and power. Morleys Hotel, now known as South Africa House, can be seen to the right, its grand architecture a testament to the opulence of the era. The church of St Martin-in-the-Fields, with its distinctive red brick facade, adds a sense of spirituality and history to the scene. The photograph also captures the essence of London's transportation during this period, with a line of horse-drawn cabs waiting patiently for fares. The cabs, a common sight on the streets of London, add to the vibrant energy and activity that characterizes this iconic square. This photograph, with its intricate details and captivating composition, offers a unique window into London's past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of the city during the Victorian era.
